How to Make TikTok Cinnamon Rolls with Sour Cream
This recipe works best with Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls, so you'll want to buy them at the store. You'll also want to grab some fresh cream, as that's the important ingredient here. That's all you need, but including tons of additional elements will really take your TikTok cinnamon rolls to the next step. For this, you'll likely want to choose:
- Butter
- Brown sugar
- Cinnamon
- Powder sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Milk
Based on TikToker @kris.tin.michelle , you will first want to grease your pan and place your Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls inside to start making the viral cinnamon rolls from TikTok . The next step is important: add the heavy whipping cream to the pan as well. Most TikTokers are adding the cream just to cover the bottom of the pan, but @kris.tin.michelle says to put the cream on “half” the buns.

Since cinnamon rolls absorb heavy whipping cream, making them bigger, you'll want to make more cinnamon butter to get them right. That's while you get the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon and mix together in a bowl. TikToker @kris.tin.michelle also adds a little salt, but this step is entirely up to you. Once combined, pour over the cinnamon rolls well before placing in the oven.
While your buns bake, TikToker @itslydiamarie took this time to make a special cover also. Take the frosting that came with the rolls, mix it with the icing sugar, milk and vanilla extract. This gives you a lot more frosting to coat your huge cinnamon rolls, which is the next step. After letting the rolls cool down a bit out of the oven, drizzle with the homemade icing or simply the icing that comes with the rolls. It's as much as you. These are your cinnamon rolls to enjoy.
In fact, other TikTokers such as @kitchentool , used things like the Starbucks Caramel Macchiato Creamer instead of the whipping cream to spice things up. TikToker @kitchentool also puts some caramels and nuts on top of the tiktok cinnamon rolls for more crunch. Since this TikTok recipe trick is so easy to follow, you really can get artistic with your cinnamon rolls. Heck, chances are you'll even give away a recipe so different and delicious that you'll want to share it on TikTok too.
